Present invention remedies the above il riawbacks by'ca'using the spacerwhen not pioperly in position to render a stopping de+ vice for the"machine operative; A suitable a1 genie'n't is hereby described withreferen i tle, the accompanying drawings, in whic shows the device. seenfrom the righthand side oftheihachine; Fig jz shows it in plan,

i against the block, it will move the roller k' chine the spaces as drop5) thattheir noses 2 enter and travel in the groove formed by the rule oand the covering bar 2 (Fig. 4).v

The spaces can then freely pass the pawl a. If, however a space dropswith its nose above the covering bar, as own in Fig. 1,- then when thesaid space is moved farther, its finger strikes the releasing pawl a androtates the s indle b. In this way the projection e of t e locking pawld which, in the position of rest, is under the projection f of ulledaway from under the said block whic falls by gravity, which may howeverbe assisted by a s ring. Then the slide t comes to rest wit its frontend to against the lever When the cam rotates and the plate vZ comesand. withit the slide '1', and the lever g toward the right by means ofits oblique face m (Fig. 3). The lever q in its turn presses against thereleasing bolt 1) and thus at once stops the machine. The compositor nowhas time to remove the space projecting too high and to replace it by ahand space. If the machine is to continue to work, then the compositorthrows it into gear in the usual manner, that is to say, he moves thethe .ciproca'tes with its back end above the lever slide it forward bymeans of the connecting rod t. At the same time the rod 7 and the lever4 turn the spindle 2, so that the lever 3 arranged at its other side,presses against in 5 and raises the block g. As soon as t e latter hasbeen suflieiently raised, the finger e which is constantly pressed bythe spring 8 against the projection f of the block g, springs under thelatter and keeps it in itsraised position. The machine can then run. Ifall the spaces have fallen down properly, that is to say, if the stopdevice is not actuated, then, when the plate I presses against theroller is, the slide i req' as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, that isto say, it does not influence the working of the machine.

The arrangement is similar in other setting machines in which justifyingis done by means of similar wedge-spaces.

Having thus fully described the nature of my invention,- what I desireto secure by Letters Patent of the United Statesis 1. In type settingmachines in combination a spacer andguide rule along which said spacermoves, means cooperating with an impro erly placed moving spacer forstopping t e machine.

2. In atype setting and line casting machine, the combination of a sacer having a shoulder thereon, a guideru e along which. said spacermoves, a cover plate oversaid "uide rule, said cover plate and guiderule being ada ted to receive the shoulder of the spaceran forming aguide groove therefor,

and means coacting with a moving spacer whose shoulder lies outside the,guide groove for stopping, the 'machine, substantially as described. i

3. Incombination with type setting and casting machines a matrix holdingrule, spacers adapted also to be held by said rule, shoulders on saidspacers, by which they are held, means operated by said shoulders, whenthey are not in proper position in the rule for stopping the machine. 7

4. In type setting machines, in combination a spacer, a guide rule alongwhich said spacer moves, means cooperating with the moving spacer improerly placedon the rule for stopping the mac he and means for restartingthe machine.

5. In combination with a type setting and casting machine justifyingmechanism comrising wedge pieces supplied to the line to e justified,shoulders on said wedge pieces, a holding rule, destined to receive saidshoulders, a projection in the path of said shoulders when not in properposition in the rule, means operated by thev consequent motion of theprojection for stopping the machine.

6. In combination with a type setting and casting machine justifyingmechanism, comprising wedge pieces supplied to the line to e justified,shoulders on said wedge pieces, a holding rule destined to receive saidshoulders, a rotating cam, a block having a sliding member thereinoperated by said rotating cam, supporting means for said block, aprojecting part associated with said supporting means and entering intothe path of those shoulders on the justifying wedges, which are not inproper position in the rule and co- 0 eratin with said shoulders forreleasing t e bloc means operated in the changed position of the slideon the block for stopping the machine.
